echoing the earlier comment that VF was basically an alterantive/goth version of myspace. i'd say it more or less functioned the same way except there was more emphasis on the emo/goth/alt subculture. i remember that the etiquette for adding people and talking to them worked pretty much the exact same way as myspace, too. i was soooo upset when i went to make a new account some months ago only to learn that the social media aspect had been done away with and is only an online store now :,[
